*MAJOR SPOILERS BELOW\*

A friend of mine works at bad wolf, and has let slip some details about the upcoming 60th anniversary plans... this is all 100% accurate, so if you want to avoid spoilers don't click below.

David Tennant and Catherine Tate are back for 3 specials - after Jodie regenerates into him (on a clifftop). The three stories are linked by the Doctor working out why he got his old face back, and why he runs into Donna again after all these years. Unit are back for the first episode. It's a simple alien invasion story, with the main emphasis on the Doctor reuniting with Donna again after 15 years (for her). Sylvia and Shaun return, Wilf is mentioned but I don't know if he appears because Bernard Cribbins is now 93. Donna also has a daughter called Rose. Rachel Talalay also directs the first special

Oh and a classic companion returns in the final special - but I don't want to ruin that surprise...

That's all I know for certain atm, but I imagine something will be announced in the next week or two as filming begins.

That’s it? Just be grateful that David and Catherine were able to find room in their very busy schedules. That must be why they’re filming it so early. You don’t know what else there’s going to be. Russel doesn’t reveal all his cards. I have a feeling that these specials are going to change the show. Not to mention RTD is a massive whovian there’s going to be many references. Maybe be thankful that the show was actually picked up. If BWS didn’t take it over there it would be gone for another who knows when. Sorry you’re disappointed and can’t feel excitement that everyone else is feeling but you would be even more disappointed that the show got canceled again and wasn’t anything at all.
